5. L. coelileatus, i^7\ ; animal, tough, flaccid ; pileus fleshy, 

 but tough, irrcguhar, more or less lobecl or twisted, rufous,

 crowded, serrated, pinkish-white. (Plate 19, fig. 4.) 



On trunks of trees, and oii the ground. Rare, but found 

 occasionally in most parts of England. Stem often divided, 

 so as to produce many spurious pilci. 



6. L. vulpinus, i^/'.; sessile, imbricated ; pilci fleshy, tough, 

 conchatc, connate behind, longitudinally rough with rigid

Pileus fleshy, but tough, at length drying up. Gills tough.
